Bethlehem: Monitoring of unlicensed dump closure
The Environment Quality Authority in Bethlehem, in cooperation with the Tourism and Archaeology Police, conducted monitoring and inspection at an illegal dumpsite in Beit -tēr, which had previously been closed to prevent illegal waste disposal. This action is part of ongoing efforts to ensure that closed sites are rehabilitated and not repurposed for waste dumping, as such activities can have environmental impacts and pose health risks. These efforts are especially important given the responsibility to protect UNESCO-listed heritage sites. The Authority confirmed that illegal waste disposal violations are against Palestinian Environment Law No. (7) of 1999, emphasizing the importance of preserving both the environment and cultural heritage.
